There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers.'" 20 Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded. Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the Nile in the sight of Pharaoh and his officials, and all the water in the river was turned into blood. 21 The fish in the Nile died, the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water, and blood was everywhere in Egypt. 22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same thing by their secret arts, and Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened. He would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said. 23 Pharaoh turned and went back to his palace.
